1: Reduce friction: When the skin is dry, friction can easily break the skin and aggravate the changes of eczema, so avoid wringing clothes and towels. Touching newspapers and chalk will also absorb the oil and moisture of the skin, and dry paper will also cut the skin, which will cause the eczema to worsen. It is best to avoid or wear cotton gloves. Don't wear rings when cleaning. Wearing rings to do housework may cause irritants or detergents to accumulate locally, aggravate the friction and irritation of the skin, and may also cause nickel allergies. Apply hand cream immediately after washing your hands, and apply it whenever you feel your hands are dry. In addition, you should also reduce the behavior of tearing off dandruff.

2: Avoid contact with irritants: To avoid hands getting wet and dry, and dry and wet again, which can aggravate the damage, it is best to do housework together and use more automated electrical appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers. Wash your hands less often and use less soap. It is best to use detergents that do not contain soap instead of soap. Because water that is too hot or too cold can hurt the skin, warm water is preferred. Wash your hands thoroughly, especially paying attention to dirt or detergents hidden in the crevices of your fingers.

3: Use gloves: To reduce the chance of irritation to your hands, the best way is to develop the habit of wearing gloves when doing things. When doing household chores that involve water, wear two layers of gloves, with the inner layer being sweat-absorbent cotton gloves and the outer layer being waterproof plastic gloves. It is advisable to prepare several pairs of gloves. Cotton gloves should be replaced when they are soaked with sweat, and plastic gloves should also be replaced immediately when they are torn. Do not wear only plastic gloves, because hands soaked in sweat and dirt are more susceptible to the invasion of allergens or irritants, which may lead to the worsening of eczema. Even if you wear two pairs of gloves, you should temporarily take off the gloves every half an hour to an hour to let your hands breathe. When doing household chores that do not involve water, it is best to wear cotton gloves to prevent your hands from getting dirty and needing to wash hands, which may irritate the skin.

4: Keep your hands clean and dry. If you use hand sanitizer for daily hand washing, make sure to rinse it thoroughly and minimize the amount of residue left on your hands. After washing your hands, wipe off the water stains on your hands with a dry paper towel or towel to avoid excessive moisture that may cause bacteria to grow in large numbers and cause infection. For those with chronically dry skin, soak your hands in warm water for about ten minutes each time before going to bed every night to keep your skin moisturized. Excessive dryness can easily cause local chapped skin or even bleeding, which can easily cause secondary infection. After soaking, you can apply some natural moisturizers and wear soft cotton gloves to sleep. This has a significant therapeutic effect on patients with dry and severely chapped skin in winter. Daily cleansing should be done in moderation. Avoid over-cleansing, which can easily weaken the stratum corneum and increase the incidence of eczema.

You can use these methods with confidence, but you should pay attention to the fact that your diet should be arranged properly during the use of these methods, especially you should reduce the choice of greasy, spicy and seafood foods, as these foods are of no help in improving eczema and may even be a hindrance.
